Michael Shermer takes us to the place where real science (such as the big bang theory), borderland science (superstring theory), and just plain nonsense (Big Foot) collide with one another. An excursion through the borderlands of science, history, and historical biography, enlivened by interesting stories and insights involving many of history's most famous scientists.

Sunday Times Review from previous edition ...a delightful antidote to the current proliferations of media-hyped pseudoscience.
